An average laptop requires over 150 kg CO2 Equivalent in its production, a modern smartphone around 50 kg CO2 Equivalent. Now scale up those numbers for each employee in your organisation. What if you could reduce your carbon footprint and reduce your tech costs?
At TMT First we offer two solutions to help organisations reduce their carbon footprint and environmental impact. These are:
Repair
TMT First is an award-winning repair centre for tech and partners directly with Apple, Microsoft and Samsung amongst others. Our mission is ‘keeping technology alive for longer’ by repairing and not replacing devices. A typical repair only needs 10% of the carbon that a replacement would require, plus it costs significantly less to repair than replace.
A fully warranted repair can significantly extend the lifespan of tech – a win win for TMT First, our clients and the planet!
For example, an organisation with 30 laptops and 30 smartphones that chooses to repair each device at least once and not replace like for like could save over 5 tons CO2 Equivalent!
Refurbish
Rather than purchase new devices, buying refurbished could slash an organisations carbon footprint by 80%. That’s because on average it only requires 20% of the carbon used to manufacture a device to fully refurbish an existing device. Refurbished devices from TMT First come with a warranty, are fully tested and repaired (if necessary) by highly trained technicians using genuine parts, tools and diagnostics. As a result, our refurbished tech are of exceptional quality at a fraction of the price of new devices.
In Conclusion
Organisations can make significant carbon and commercial savings by either buying refurbished tech or by repairing and not replacing. Working with TMT First our clients receive award winning service from the UK’s leading repair centre
